Now, Cassie spends her nights feigning drunkenness in clubs and bars, allowing men to take her to their homes and revealing her sobriety when they try to take advantage of her.

This week we discuss the pros and cons of thinking with your head vs your heart. We found out that it's more of a spectrum. Read the questions below. 
Also,  #FREEBRITNEY! 

Should you pursue your dreams, no matter how unlikely it is that they'll come true?

• Yes, if you're young with no other responsibilities.
• Of course, how could you possibly know if they'd come true if you don't pursue them?
• It depends – you have to be honest with yourself and your chance for success, you shouldn't try and be a pop star if you can't sing very well. 
• No, the risk is too high

What is more important in a relationship, stability or passion?

• Passion for sure.  What's the point of spending your time or your life with someone that doesn't excite you. 
• Stability – passion will always fade, you need someone that'll help you in tough times.
• It's a mix of both

Imagine you run a business. Money is running low and you need to fire an employee. How do you do it?

• I fire the one who is the least skilled and most easily replaceable
• I would fire the one I know would be the most resilient and needs this job the least (like someone doing the job for extra income rather than their main income). 
• I fire the one I like the least

Would you rather be alone forever, or settle for someone nice but less than ideal?

• I would rather be alone 
• I would settle, life is easier when you've got someone looking out for you.

Do you ask people out on a date, or do you wait for them to do it?

• I never ask people out because that way you can never be sure of how much they like you. 
• I'd ask people out but I'm definitely way too shy.
• It's about 50/50. 
• I ask people out usually, though I would love it if someone asked me
• I always ask people; if you don't ask you don't get it.

In the world we live in, intentions mean very little. Your actions do, though. ... What matters even more than your actions are the consequences of your actions. This means that intentions do matter, but only insofar as they cause you to engage in actions that make your life and the lives of people around you better if you’re dancing to make your cat happy, if you step on her, ya know, she’s gonna yowl. Maybe even scratch. So here is why your intentions don’t actually matter.
